Ask your vet about the swimming.
We had 2 different guys do the knees and they both said to hold off on the swimming for a few months.
Dakota was also big, 150 lbs. The bigger the dog the more potential for problems so that may have been why no swimming was advised.
TPLO is the only option for large dogs. The fishing line won't work. There are small dogs running around with blown ACLS but you may never even know it.
We were at $2,800 for the 1st knee, $3,200 for the 2nd. The second knee they went in with a scope 1st to clean out which resulted in a smaller incision and less time in the OR so we felt it was worth it.
Don't freak out when you see her, they are gonna filet her from the hip to the ankle.
Think I have some pics of Dakota post op. Will post if I can find them.
